EmpowerGirls

During the school day, students meet for EmpowerGirls sessions – during lunch or other regularly scheduled periods. In addition, students meet with an assigned near-peer mentor during special EmpowerGirls field trips, or planned one-on-one activities. Mentors stay in contact with EmpowerGirls through ongoing communication to build authentic bonds and sisterhood.
